Enhanced IDE and Floppy Connectors
The AV18 mainboard features two 40-pin dual-channel IDE device connec-
tors (IDE1/IDE2) providing support for up to four IDE devices, such as CD-
ROM and Hard Disk Drives (H.D.D.). This mainboard also includes one 34-
pin floppy disk controller (FDC) to accommodate the Floppy Disk Drive
(F.D.D.). Moreover, this mainboard comes with one 40pin ribbon cable to
connect to IDE H.D.D. and one 34-pin ribbon cable for F.D.D. connection.
Important:
Ribbon cables are directional, therefore, make sure to always
connect with the red cable stripe on the same side as pin #1 of
the IDE1/IDE2 or FDC connector on the mainboard.
